So what happens if you've downloaded the update but not actually installed it yet?... When they release 0.2 will the iPhone still pick it up?...
Got a tip for us?

Apple Says iOS 8.0.2 Update is in the Works, Directs Users to Reinstall iOS 8

First, iOS 8.0.1 does have bug fixes, so they wouldn't want to bring them back. Also it seems like something is wrong with the wireless updates for iPhone 6.
This whole thing has really screwed me over, it's all very well saying 'whats the problem, just install ios8' but I updated in the middle of nowhere & assumed that my phone had bricked (no wifi so couldn't check MR), so as a last resort wiped my phone hoping that it may 'kickstart' my phone into working again..... Now I'm trying to restore from my backup & it's taken hours of ***** about so far due to iPhone 6 syncing issues
I paid £699 gbp ($1140) for this piece of junk, I at least expect it to work as advertised!!!
theres my 2 cents & yes I do feel better now thats off my chest!

What the.... I went to bed last night being certain that iOS 8.0.2 would be waiting when I woke up! I'm on a holiday for 2 weeks and I don't have a computer with me. How am I going to use my phone? I need Google Maps here, I need to make phone calls for work, this is just idiotic. I can't wait a couple of days before I (hopefully) can use my phone again.
Seems like I was one of the few able to update my iPhone 6 OTA to 8.0.1 without any problems... My girlfriends wasn't as lucky though.
Considering the circumstances that wouldn't be too bad. We now have iPhones that can't make calls. Nobody would mind having those 8.0.0 bugs back.
The problem is that some things might have been upgraded to a new format, for example the mail database. While the upgrade to the new format is already built into the firmware update, the downgrade of these formats is not part of the older version.
Updates usually involve a lot of complexity. In most cases it's simply impossible to release an old version with a new version number.
If the issues only affected iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users, why was the update withdrawn for all other applicable iOS 8 compatible devices?
Come on Apple, I'm not pleased with the performance of this OS on my fifth generation iPod touches and until you put out a sixth generation, you should at least have the decency of not making it run so poorly.

An update breaking telephony MUST NOT happen, period.
Not for iPhones, not for 10 bucks lowest-end feature-phones.
Next few days? Is this some sort of joke? An emergency fix should have been issued within hours at the very latest.
Disgraceful.

I believe it will just stay in your "app data" folder on your desktop. It shouldn't install unless your authorize it to be installed.
I know... I bought an iPad 3. I was quite pissed off about that.
If they accelerated iPhone releases, I would be happy about that. eBay is there for a reason
Yes, that's what I fear too... I think Apple always had people with strong and divergent ideas in its different departments. But they also had a CEO, Steve Jobs, with even stronger ideas. I think he actually had diverging people in Apple, because it boosts creativity and he was there to keep all that in balance. That was actually a very good thing for Apple.
The problem is that Steve Jobs is not here anymore to perform the balancing act - like he did with the first iPhone when sent it back to the drawing board when he discovered the screen could scratch a few months before launch. Even worse: when of the people with strong and divergent ideas is now at the head of Apple and he very obviously wants to push his agenda and only his agenda now that he has free reigns.
No, it's not a joke, it's just at least some common sense...
The iPhone 6 was clearly rushed - and we have bentgate and some design problems (camera...). Apple is in such a hurry that it made a presentation of it while it's still mostly vaporware - I think that's a first for an Apple device and for a company that valued secrecy so much. iOS8 was clearly rushed and we have some pretty large bugs (including a missing HealthKit). iOS 8.0.1 was clearly rushed and now we have disabled telephony.
I think Apple clearly overextended itself by working at once on a new iOS versions, two iPhones, the iWatch and probably other things we will see soon.
I think it's highly time Apple actually let the people doing the production actually do their work correctly. Rushing a patch to a rushed patch to a rushed major OS version is really not a good idea! It IT industry, you only have four variables:
- quality
- time
- budget (and on such a short notice, budget is constant)
- features
If you reduce time, either features or quality are going to dive. Currently, there is the solution to go back to iOS8. And the iOS8 bugs are annoying but not blocking. I think it's better to wait some time and have a good quality patch rather than something that causes even more problems (bricked iPhones for instance)...
Is anyone else experiencing problems with air printers not being discovered on iOS 8.0.1?
Got two 5S's, one running 8.0.0 which can find our printer, and the other running 8.0.1 which can't. Besides this issue, I haven't had any other problem with the 8.0.1 update.

The "no carrier signal" and touch id issues seem to only be affecting people with the 6 and 6 plus
Exactly, 8.0.1 has been downloaded on my device and can be installed, but I see no option to just delete it. What will happen when they release 8.0.2? Will the downloaded 8.0.1 update just disappear and 8.0.2 be downloaded? Hmmm... I am not sure what to do now.
I'm stunned with how short the memory of most of the people is
There is always some problems with the newest gear, and same goes with updates - you shouldn't update until it's been confirmed safe. Instead, all this whining and complaining happens every single update and every single version of the phone, computer, etc. Amazing.
